There will be a hint this chapter to who harry is based on from mythology but he is not gender bent and it is a fairly popular myth


Ozpin sighed as he received yet another message demanding he had over young Harry, this one came with some not to subtle threats. Thankfully despite their weakening relationship, Ironwood was still helping him though he was also demanding an answer. It had been a week and the boy had yet to wake up, not he could blame him the use of that power was not simple sadly he could not explain that, it could make things even more difficult. As if summoned by his thoughts, his intercom buzzed. "Yes."

"Headmaster Ozpin, Harry Lightning is waking up."

"I'm on way down." he said getting out of his extremely comfortable chair and heading towards his elevator.


Harry sat on his bed writing on a small sheet of paper that he had managed to convince the nurse to give him. "Evil woman." he muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" Nurse Coral asked walking past him. Moving around some equipment

"Nothing!" he said quickly, she was also very scary. He shivered she was evil.

"She has always been scary."

"Monty Oum!" Harry nearly jumped out of his bed at the arrival of the Headmaster. "How did you!" Harry shot Dust a dirty look, "Why didn't you warn me?" The crow seemed to shrug. "Lazy bird." he muttered, the bird squawked and slapped him with his wing. Harry slapped the bird and it peck his hand he flicked it's beak.

"Do you need a minute?" He asked amused taking a sip from his mug of coffee. The boy flushed and stopped fighting his bird, but not before it got in a cheap pot shot. "Now how do feel?" he asked taking a seat next the boy.

"I feel fine, the nurse already asked me this, are you sure you are a doctor?"

Ozpin chuckled. "That's complicated."

"So no," Harry deadpanned.

"Well technically I am."

Harry snorted. "And technically my sister isn't addicted to cookies."

Ozpin let out a laugh. "I mean technically as in I do have a doctor's degree but only as teacher. My name is Ozpin I am the Headmaster here at Beacon academy."

Harry froze and then shrugged. "Well I already messed up my first impression and I can't blame Yang."

Ozpin smiled, "Don't worry I won't tell your dad."

"How do you know my dad?" Harry asked tilting his head to the side much like his bird.

"I know him through Qrow."

"You know Drunkle Qrow!" Ozpin held in a laugh at the name Drunkle, it wasn't inaccurate.

"Yes I do, but he failed to mention your love of music." Ozpin said looking at the sheet of paper on Harry's lap. He could see the little musical notes on the sheet.

Harry flushed and looked down at his sheets his hands fiddling the sheet of music. "It's nothing just something I do in my freetime."

"Oh do you play an instrument?"

Harry blushed, "Ruby said it was like nails on a chalk board."

Ozpin smiled. "Well you can't be great at everything." he said before reaching for the sheet, which Harry reluctantly handed over.

He looked it over and noticed that it was actually really good not just randomly placed notes but rather an actually piece of music. Then his noticed something. "No lyrics?"

Harry frowned. "I couldn't find anything that fit." it was always just out of reach the words he was looking for.

"It is very good." he complimented before he could continue the door burst open. Letting in Harry's family.

"HARRY!" a red blur slammed into him knocking the air out of him. "Are you ok? Are you dying? Are you hurt?" Ruby kept firing questions at supersonic speeds soon she was talking so fast that it was just a constant buzz. Yang rolled her eyes and pulled out a cookie and shoved it into her sister's mouth shutting her up as she munched on the cookie.

"How are you doing Harry?" She asked walking up to her brother and pulling him into a hug.

"I'm fine." he said pushing her off with a blush, he was seven he did not need her hovering over him. he was big kid, he could even do long division. "But what happened?"

The adults exchanged looks, "Yang why don't you and Ruby go and grab some food I'm sure your brother's hungry." Tai told his daughter who frowned knowing they just wanted to get rid of her.

"But dad!" she whined but he just stood there with his arms crossed no budged on the issue, normally he was not so stern but this was too serious of a matter. "Fine." she huffed walking towards the door, grabbing her sister by the hood as she left dragging her along.

"Yang let me go! I can walk!" Ruby cried as she was dragged away not understanding why her sister was angry about being asked to get food. Sure it was a bit boring but at least they got to explore the school.

As the door opened and the sisters left, Harry turned back to his father. Tai sighed and sat down, "Harry what do you remember?"

Harry frowned and focused on the last thing that happened. "I don't re-remember." he stuttered, "I was playing with Ruby and the others when the Grimm came and then it felt like I-I-I was being r-ripped into pieces." Harry seemed to shrink in on himself and wrap his arms around himself as if to push away an unseen chill.

Tai gave his son a hug, something that he eagerly returned. "It's okay." he said rubbing his back, and the child held him close. "Don't worry it's okay." slowly his shivering stopped. "Now can you tell us what you mean it felt like you being ripped apart?"

Harry tensed and pulled the hospital blanket closer before relaxing. "It felt like a part of me was being torn off. Then" he seemed to consider it for a moment. "Well then it felt my connection to Dust. like I could feel everything they felt and see what they see. It was horrible." he said tears welling up in his eyes. "There was so much anger, hatred, jealousy. He curled up into a ball once more and buried his head into his father's shoulder.

"Hey hey it's okay it's okay it's all over your safe." he said rubbing his son's back as he slowly drifted off to sleep. He laid his son gently onto the bed and turned to Ozpin. "We are not making him do that again."

Ozpin frowned. "I wish I could say that will not happen. But you know how politics get in the way."

"HE IS MY SON!" Tai exclaimed, "NOT-" Harry stirred and he calmed himself down in an effort not to disturb him. "Not one of your damn power plays."

Ozpin sighed. "I'm afraid in this case he may be both." he hated politics no matter how long he dealt with them they never got cleaner or easier. You just ended up bathed in the lies and secrets you were trying to unveil.

"Damn council!" Tai gritted out slamming his fist on the table. "I have no doubt Atlas is already lined up to 'Help'." he spat.

"You are not wrong," Ozpin admitted. "But Ironwood has recently been promoted and I trust him to keep them in line." Ironwood had his trust even if Taiyang didn't know it, he was part of the inner circle.

"My son is not some lab rat!" He growled. "This is the exact reason we kept his powers secret." this was exactly what they feared the government trying to take him away and experiment on him.

"I know Tai I am doing everything in my power to mitigate the damage." Ozpin had been doing that all day in his office arguing with various politicians, no doubt the council's way of subtly applying pressure and the various news outlets trying to get an interview. Several of which had already claiming that he was responsible for Harry's unique ability and was trying to take advantage of him.

His scroll buzzed and he sighed in exasperation no rest for weary. "Yes."

"Headmaster the council is calling for you." he rolled his eyes politicians, like children if they didn't get their way whine and demand he give them what they want and keep doing so until they got their way.

"Tell them I will be right up." he said before getting out of his seat. "Sometimes I swear your children are more mature than the council."


The video conference had already been answered when he strode into his office cool as a cucumber. "Hello council men and woman." he greeted cordially. "How may I help you?"

"Don't play dumb Ozpin you know full well what we want." the newest council member said clearly thinking that because he was now a councilor that Ozpin would bow to his whims.

"I am not playing anything, councilor I tend to deal with a lot in a day and don't have time deal with children throwing temper tantrums." he said filling up his cup of coffee, while the councilor spluttered in the background.

The only woman of the three was glad her face was hidden otherwise they would have seen her smile, as the longest running member of the council it was always amusing to watch the newer members get put into place by Ozpin. "Ozpin we are here about the boy, Harry I believe his name was?"

"I don't see why the council is concerned about a young boy with a unique semblance." he said taking a seat in his chair.

"Don't play dumb Ozpin, you and I both know his semblance isn't just unique, it's unheard of." the middle councilor said not dancing around the subject.

"The ability of a semblance is something you and I know is not able to replicate." sure studies could learn from them, but expecting them to find a way to copy semblances was laughable. You couldn't copy a soul, and just like every soul was unique so was a semblance. They could be so similar there almost no difference but there would always be the most minor of differences. Even twins were like this as the only time twins had the same semblance was when their semblance required both of the to work.

"Atlas has made progress making artificial aura." the third member said. "With time they might be able to copy his semblance."

"Oh I was not aware they had managed to successfully do so without it burning itself out in less than a minute." The councilors winced at that they had hoped he was not aware of the failure of the experiment. It seemed without a mind to guide it would either just keep going until it ran out or fade away. "Besides we all know of the Semblance protection act, no lawful citizen shall be forced to comply with government procedures on their person without their permission." the laws were put into place after the great war when the government had become tyrannical and forced many citizens to comply with unethical experiments or be killed.

With nothing left to argue the session ended and the video call closed out.


Harry shifted uncomfortably in his sleep as the dream flashed across his vision. A red blur flashed across a snowy field leaving a trail red rose petals. Several grimm were sliced to pieces by it. The red blur finally came to a stop at the edge of the cliff. On the very edge of the cliff was a tombstone. At which Red kneeled before.

The dream changed to a figure of pure White and giant metal knight, the figure attacked the golem. It moved with grace that spoke of years of practice, yet the figure was quickly being beaten by the giant knight as it's strikes did nearly nothing the figure was knocked to the ground. And took several seconds for it to rise from the blow. But the figure was slumped and exhausted and figure raised it's sword to crush White. Yet moments before it slammed into the figure, it straightened out and and block the strike before attacking this time doing some real damage.

The dream changed again to a figure of black it moved through a train with skill that showed it was not the first time the figure did so. Black was thrown back by an explosion that knocked it back and more figures attacked. Yet both Black and a second figure attack and was quickly winning against the robots and just as it seemed they were going to win. Black jumped into a separate part of the train and reached down before separating the two figures as the part that Black was on drifted away.

The vision changed one last time as a yellow figure stood in the middle of club knocking several goons around, soon a larger figure attacked and the two fought but the larger was quickly beaten down. Than the two more figure entered and the three started to fight neither side was able to win. Than Yellow managed to knock one of the twin figures down and allowed her to quickly beat the other. Walking out of the club Yellow walk outside running into Red.

Harry's eyes shot open and he looked around for his music sheet then he grabbed a pen and started writing the lyrics.

Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest.

White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test.

Black the beast descends from shadows.

Yellow beauty burns GOLD!
